    The team behind a steakhouse which was set to move into an empty Harrogate restaurant almost six months ago, have spoken of their frustration over the delay.

    Last November, Tomahawk Steakhouse revealed it was planning to move into the former Solita Food Hall. 

    It was set to open in April, but the unit on Parliament Street, which was also formerly Jamie's Italian, has remained empty.

    A spokesman for Tomahawk told the Stray Ferret:

    “At the moment Tomahawk are tied up with legalities that have unfortunately been completely out of our control.
    "We were all prepared and ready to go, but with liquidators from the previous owners comes a lot of red tape. We have had to sit on the sidelines whilst it gets thrashed out between the relevant parties.
    "It is a shame because we would love to get going with everything and get open, but it’s completely out of our hands.
    "So if the people of Harrogate are wondering what is going on with the venue, we are in exactly the same boat.
    "We are, however, hoping this will draw to a close very soon and are waiting for information due to come our way anytime over the next few days.”


    The steakhouse had initially planned to move into the empty Bistrot Pierre unit on Cheltenham Parade in January, before deciding to change its location to Solita Food Hall’s space.

    Instead Samsons brasserie and bar moved into the Cheltenham Parade site in March. However it is currently shut "for essential works", according to a spokesperson for the restaurant.

    Tomahawk Steakhouse has restaurants in a number of locations, including Chester, York and Newcastle.
